BRIDGEWATER, Mass. —

A Bridgewater man was blindfolded, beaten and forced to withdraw money from several ATMs by masked attackers, Police Chief Christopher D. Delmonte said.

At approximately 4:45 a.m., Bridgewater police responded to a convenience store in Randolph after receiving a report from Randolph police that a resident had been taken at gunpoint and dropped off at the store on North Main Street.

A 56-year-old man told police that three men broke into his Spring Street apartment between 1 a.m and 2 a.m. The victim said he was blindfolded, beaten and restrained in his apartment, then forced into a vehicle, police said.

The men then drove the victim to several banks and forced him to withdraw money using his ATM card, police said. The men then dropped the victim off at the store in Randolph, police said.

The victim was taken to Brockton Hospital with injuries that are considered serious but not life-threatening, police said.

All three men were described as black, and two of them had handguns, police said.

Police are reviewing bank surveillance footage, which shows a light-skinned black male covering his face with a coat and allegedly holding the victim’s ATM card, as well as a light-colored suspect vehicle, police said.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Bridgewater Police Department at 508-697-6118.
